Ah! Sorry Marty, my fault, I never even thought of one of them. Full marks for Cubist.

So there is no such thing as a 1" riser?
@ angelsolofish. Cheers, but I will be mostly using the bike for road use and if I ever en up off road it won't ne anything extreme, in fact I can guarantee it will be very tame!
Here is a picture of my stem and handle bars, if anyone can suggest how I can raise my bars an inch or two I would ne very grateful. Remember my steerer tube is only an inch diameter and my bars, after a quick measure, seem to be 7/8inch diameter!
I see you can buy adjustable stems or steeper rising stems, but will the clamps fit my steerer tube and bars?
Thanks again for everyone's input so far!
Whoops!
You need this chart to assess the rise and length of stem you need to give the handlebar position you want.
and you need one of these shims. If you can't get one, I have one I can send you. You also need the stem to accept 25.4mm handlebar diameter. Double check that with a caliper if you can but that's what it looks like, however as it's a 1" steerer, take nothing for granted.
Then just choose a new stem a 11/8th one.
I would be looking at a stem with a steeper angle rather than heightening the stem TBH. As it seems you will need a shim anyway why not take a look at one of these.
